Gwentfinity Voting Council - 22 Oct, 2026 - Scoia'tael

6 Upvotes

Members of the Council, welcome to our weekly assembly.

These posts are scheduled to happen every week. Each week, a different faction is proposed and every time we will try to orient the discussion about either "nerf" or "buff".

Faction of the Week: Scoia'Tael

While you can still use these topics to talk about other balance suggestions, please try to focus on the theme of the week. Those topics are intended to give a chance to all factions to be talked about.

Discussions can be about modifying a whole archetype or addressing individual cards.

Potential sources if needed: GwentData, Gwent.one, PlayGwent.com, Balance Council Generator

Question Newboy's Newcomer Monday!

5 Upvotes

Newboy looks sadly at his talisman. "Oh well, this doesn't help at all..."


Welcome to the latest Monday Newcomer Thread, where you the community get to ask your questions and share your knowledge. This is an opportunity for the more experienced Gwent players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes but also can be a great place for in-depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully, someone can answer them!

What you can do to help!

This is a weekly thread, meaning it will be posted once a week. Checking back on this thread later in the week and answering any questions that have been posted would be a huge help!

If you're trying to ask a question, the more specific you are, the better it is for all of us! We can't give you any help if we don't get much to work with in the first place.

Discussion What's a good thematically consistent deck to go with Alzur's journey?

0 Upvotes

I recently completed Regis' journey with a devotion Vampires deck, which just felt like the obvious choice. Would like to do a similar run through Alzur's journey but not sure about a good deck for it (I'm not super knowledgeable with Witcher lore)

Thanks!

Question Anyone else can't connect?

45 Upvotes

I'm playing the Android version of Gwent on my tablet. First thing this morning, I tried to queue for a game and got an error "game version no longer supported". I played an AI game no problem. I tried queueing again and this time it just spun forever.

I've checked for updates, force stopped the app, cleared cache and restarted the tablet. Now it simply won't connect on startup with "check your internet connection". My connection is fine.

Servers down? Can't think of any other explanation.

EDIT: Glad it's not just me. And now the withdrawals start...

EDIT 2: We're back up again! Go get your fix bros!

Hello guys, I've been playing gwent, not really sure, maybe in 2018-2019, then suddenly stopped, but decided to hop back to it and ain't sure from what to start to learn to play again

Also is it a lot? Can I make strong decks with it? Remember I had those stripes(if I call them correctly) since those years, maybe it multiplied, idk

P.S: apologies, they're called scraps

Question Custom Gwent art book – looking for ideas and experiences

2 Upvotes

I like the official Gwent art books but buying them all together is too expensive for me plus I have different preferences when it comes to the specific artworks and how they are curated. Has anyone here ever made their own custom art book?

Basically, I wanted to keep the faction-based structure. But focus my highlights on specific cards (Vilgefortz, Yaga, Whoreson Junior, Gezras, etc.) and group together archetypes the way I used to play them like Crimes, Vampires, Assimilate and so on. So it's also a kind of personal keepsake for my favorite cards. Open to ideas!

Question Why and how did this game die?

135 Upvotes

I found this gem on android and started playing, artstyle and the unique game mechanics really drew me in.

But then i started searching more and found out that the game is abandoned, no coverage on youtube whatsoever.

How could a beautiful and well known IP game like this die? Wtf happened?

Discussion Would Thronebreaker/Gwent Make a Good Asynchronous PVP Game?

7 Upvotes

Its been a couple of years since Gwent went into maintenance mode and recently I had the thought that the gameplay of Thronebreaker/Gwent(mostly Thronebreaker) could be turned into an async PVP game. The different locations from Thronebreaker could be considered a chapter/day and have PVE roguelike gameplay before an actual player at the end of the chapter/day. Gwent could also be a good baseline to build an autobattler off of because the board is supposed to represent a battlefield.

Discussion Dwarven Skirmisher is ridiculous

5 Upvotes

Two targeted 3point pings on a 4 unit card. The amount of value this card generates is hard to quantify. It can kill engines, float damage, setup big removal plays. It's weak body is actually an advantage too because it makes it useless to remove with typical 4damage cards.

This should easily be a 2power 5 provision card.

Discussion Go back button / Remove something from the game

11 Upvotes

If you had the option to go back to one specific patch or time and enjoy GWENT as it was back then, which time would it be?

Alternatively, what card/mechanic did the game introduce which eventually fundamentally changed everything in a negative way?

I personally feel like the "infuse" status really changed a lot of things. I think it's not a healthy mechanic. As well as the options to spam the same unit many times, for example reaver hunters decks.

Question Anyone got a good Devotion ST list?

9 Upvotes

Title. I’m an SK enjoyer but Eithne is calling to me since I opened her evolving card in premium. I want long rounds with tons of vitality, specials and green ladies. Also I started playing in Master Mirror so all devotion decks are pretty nostalgic to me (except vampires, fuck them.)

Thanks.

Question Leveling fast

9 Upvotes

Is there a faster way to level up? I've been collecting kegs and not letting myself open even one because someone on this sub told me that on lvl 60 you get prestige 1 and kegs are better. I've collected over 40 kegs and have resources for like 20 more and I feel like I'm gonna shit a brick if I don't open few. Currently I'm on level 58 and I've been grinding for days. Can I level up faster? And if not, do you know how long will it take me to get to prestige 1? Thank you

Discussion Good Impact Council #21 - Your Shortlist Of 7 Buff

13 Upvotes

Finding cards which deserve a buff is no challenge. Picking ones which would make you want to play the game in the following season is harder.

If the next balance council was limited to only one buff per faction (no other buffs in the game) + one neutral... what would be Top 7 buffs you'd like to see? Similarly to the previous edition I'd like you to answer this post only with your Top7s (+preferably explanation). I invite mods to remove comments violating this convention. Then particular Top7s are discussed below them.

I'd put down mine as a comment too. Have fun!

Discussion Adda Shupe Thrive deck nerf suggestions

0 Upvotes

heyo! this deck has seen top level play for several months now, and with the shupe nerf revert it became even stronger than before (though not as strong as when it first emerged about 6 months prior).

it’s a very strong deck, with a great control suite, whike it’s strategy can perform well in a short and long run in equal measure. It’s very hard to beat this deck when it’s piloted by a strong player. At the same time, it’s a very skill dependent deck, so it’s not the worst deck of all time to be over performing.

i want to start a conversation about how it can be tuned down, while offering 3 of my suggestions as options.

1) nerf Alpha Werewolf By provision.

its the main source of carryover in the deck, and the reason why Adda can play for 20+ points. This nerf would also hit midrange fruits of ysgith decks and Cockatrice beast decks

2) nerf the carapace leader.

This would also hit Selfeater-based relicts, both the GN version and the regular, as well as ogroids and Kelly.

Ogroids can probably survive the nerf without noticing it, while Kelly could be buffed by provision to compensate. not sure what to do with Selfeater relicts, I don’t think they deserve any nerfs.

3) nerf Adda Striga by power. This one is more significant than it may seem, as it means that Adda can no longer eat Thing from the Box with just 2 leader charges, and could no longer eat the djinn spawned by the Puzzlebox without a leader at all.

this nerf would reduce Ada’s point output, true, but more importantly it would move the entire deck further into combo territory, as you would want to use enchanted armor stratagem or Vial of forbidden knowledge to boost your Adda, therefore increasing the amount of setup necessary for the deck to work.

the main benefit of needing the deck by provision is that it’s already quite tight on its budget, and 1 leas provision likely means dropping Maxii, Dorregarey, or endrega Larva, which lowers consistency, control or r1 point output respectively.

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on the matter. Personally I love this deck very much, but sometimes it does feel like You win games by a landslide.

Question Just wondering... Princess Adda Leader skin price?

5 Upvotes

I just got absolutely rolled as a relatively new player by this Northern Realms deck. I'm level 11 and rank 28 or 27, I think? There are so many numbers by my profile name. Their deck had all these knight cards that had just paragraphs of text (something about a chapter?), boosts, grace, and other nonsense. I got rolled and just forfeited at the end of the second round because I honestly couldn't tell what was going on anymore. I was straight up starting to get a migraine from trying to understand their cards and what they did.

The other person had Princess Adda as their leader. I'm just wondering how much it would cost to get that skin. (Partially to tell me how much money the person put into the game to get that deck).

For context, I'm playing a White Frost Devotion deck with a few of the gold cards from that very first reward book. I was holding my own or having close battles for most matches up until this.
